Playing Starfield and wondering why the NPCs look like they’re dead inside? One developer reckons they’ve worked out why.

    Because based on the amount of sales they’ve made and the combined player numbers between those and gamepass players, lots of people don’t care.

    I started gaming on an Amstrad in the late 80s, I’ve lived though multiple groundbreaking leaps in graphical quality since then and now and frankly, it doesn’t impress me anymore, especially with how incremental it’s become. I’m more impressed by the scale and world building of Starfield and how all its systems come together than how it’s character models look.

      I wasn’t creeped out by character faces from my Amstrad either.

      When you get to the level of realism of Starfield you have to pay attention to the details. If you can’t, just pick a different graphical style.
